Our bi-annual ArtSmart exhibiton is back on April 4th as part of First Friday! Come out to the Bethlehem Visitor Center pres. by Lehigh Valley Health Network part of Jefferson Health to check out the work by the talented Bethlehem Area School District students. ??? The winter culminating exhibition will feature student work from Marvine, Lincoln, Donegan, Spring Garden, and James Buchanan elementary schools as well as Broughal and East Hills middle schools. These young artists spent 8 weeks creating with the guidance of ArtsQuest's professional teaching artists, and now it's time to celebrate their talent! Plus, we've got snacks and light refreshments to keep the vibes flowing. See you there! ????

The Power of the Arts: Enriching Lives, Boosting the Economy and Building Stronger! In a tech-driven world, it’s easy to forget the value the arts bring to education, the economy and community. ???? Did you know? Students involved in the arts are more likely to graduate and have higher attendance rates! In the Lehigh Valley, ArtsQuest reaches over 1.9 million people annually. With the new ArtsQuest Creative Factory powered by PPL, that number is set to grow. The arts drive academic success, economic growth and strengthen community bonds. The arts support 4.9 million jobs nationwide, and here in the Valley, ArtsQuest contributes $136 million annually to the local economy! Check out how the arts are shaping our region’s future and why supporting them is more important than ever below????

Starry Starry Stacks was an incredible experience here at SteelStacks. ???? Utilizing many of the same processes and materials that were used in the blast furnaces behind them, artist Coral Lambert and her crew cast dozens of glowing iron Bethlehem Stars that were then carried and presented by members of the public against the iconic Bethlehem Steel backdrop. Digital Pioneer, Paul Higham accompanied the performance with a composition of industrial sounds collected from the environment. This site specific installation and performance made for a very special night at ArtsQuest! This program was made possible through a grant from the Borgenicht Foundation. ??: Wendy Jamison
